Team Captain Corner

Team captains make an impact!

The team captain not only has the opportunity to inspire and motivate team members but he/she also can be sure that everyone knows the kind of impact they as a team can have in saving the lives of blood cancer patients.

Thanks to events like Light The Night Walk advancements such as targeted therapies that zero in on cancer cells and kill them and immunotherapy drugs that use a person's own immune system to kill cancer have been saving the lives of thousands of blood cancer patients.

It's easy to become a team captain

You can partner with our LLS staff to develop a customized plan that meets the needs of you and your team. We encourage teams to have multiple team captains to expand your impact even further! Walker registration and fundraising can all be handled online. When you register, you will have access to great fundraising tips, ideas, and samples, and be able to create a team e-fundraising page.
